October Brain Dump

Yellow! Did anyone else's parents ever answer the phone like that when you were a kid? "Yeh-low?!" Or when they would hang up they'd be like "mmm buh-bye." Like not just "buh-bye" but there'd be the "mmm" in front of it? No? Just my parents?

Anyway - I digress. I was trying to say hello and start this blog post but then I wrote it as "yellow" cause that's how I was saying it in my head and down the rabbit hole I went. So I think this is going to be just a little bit of a brain dump/housekeeping kind of a post because of a few reasons:

1.) I am in a writing mood

2.) I got a new computer and wanted to play on it so typey type type away I go

3.) I am procrastinating finishing a vampire book I'm reading because I'm pretty sure something bad is about to happen and I dunno if I'm ready for it. That and plus it's night time now which means I REALLY can't read it right? Silly me was like oooooh October! Halloween! Spooky season! You should try and read some spooky books! Who exactly did I think I was? Brave? So blogging it is for tonight. 

Let's talk about that actually - blogging. You will probably notice that this blog, is a rickety, old, very old blog. Sometimes images don't load, some content is missing from the tabs on my home page, sometimes instead of the actual header image you'll instead get a little Photobucket image (lol remember Photobucket?), and things of that nature. That is because this blog is old and I have made zero effort to update it. Oops. 

At first, that was because for a few years I was rarely posting on here and didn't really feel the need to update it. But lately, I've really been thinking a lot about writing and blogging and craving what it used to be. Craving to have a little space online where I can ramble on about things I love and talk about them with other people who also love those same things and just be dumb and silly and creative whenever I want to be. So I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm making plans for this blog. So far, they are:

1.) Posting at least once per week, ultimately I'd like to have two blog posts per week. Too ambitious? We'll find out.

2.) Move this blog over to Wordpress and redesign. The time suck on this one is that I want allllll my posts I've ever written to come with me to the new platform. Which means me, manually copy and pasting over all the hundreds of blog posts I've written over the last nine years. You can guess why that would be taking me FOR.EH.VERRR (in my best Sandlot voice). So in the meanwhile, thank you for your patience in dealing with this rickety old blog. 

3.) Lol I thought I had more plans which is why I started a numbered list but I guess these two are the gist of it 😆. 

So the hope in talking about this is not only to let you, reader, know what I'm working on and have planned, but also to hold myself accountable. I am fairly good at planning things but executing said things is where I typically fail. But fail here I shall not! I can't and I shan't! 

In other news - the high today in Arizona was 67 degrees and I shit you not I thought I was going to freeze. Sidenote - I used to think "I shit you not" was a crude and vulgar and unnecessary turn of phrase but now I think it's kind of funny. It's funny right?

Also, I need you all to know that in the event we might pull up to a 4-way stop sign at the same time, I AM THAT PERSON that will accidentally start going at the same time as you and then we'll both be like "You go. No you go! Ooop you go! No ok you go!" for literally the next hour. I am the absolute worst at this I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it. I am truly sorry.

Other things:
1.) Did y'all watch Emily in Paris on Netflix? I did and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it and I don't know why this was such a controversial show. Is it because it was cheesy?? I love cheese.

2.) Did ya'll listen to Kelsea Ballerini's Ballerini album? It's the acoustic version of Kelsea that came out in March and WE STAN.

3.) Did ya'll see that Mina Lima, graphic designers of all eight Harry Potter movies released an illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? IT.IS.STUNNING.

4.) My friend Brianna started an Etsy shop and you should check it out HERE, and my friend Kayla started an Etsy shop you should check that out HERE. 

So if you've made it this far, as always - you da bomb. Thanks for reading and thanks for your patience as I get my blog legs back under me!
